[DeTomaso] Cleaning up brake fluid?

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Guys,

Just got home from a fantastic day beating on the Pantera at Laguna Seca 
with Bob Benson.   My new brakes work terrific (more on that later) but 
unfortunately, the contents of my rear brake circuit decanted themselves (either 
due to a cracked flare or a loose fitting) all over the inside of my trunk, 
soaking the carpet.

Other than mopping up the carpets with paper towels, does anybody have any 
ideas as to how I can get rid of the fluid that has soaked the carpet?   
Lacking any other guidance, I'm thinking of filling the front trunk with soapy 
water and letting it soak; if it doesn't leak out I'd then bail it out and 
finish with a shop-vac.

Anybody got a better idea?

Mike (still buzzing over coming over the blind hill, lifting slightly under 
the bridge, then burying the throttle again until just before the 3-board 
for turn 2 and going from 120+ down to 45 in no time...whee!!!!!!)
